Topic: Mike Nackoul kicks butt in Malaysia

[Rachel Crass]

This couldn't have happened to a better young man.

In all, I've been tremendously impressed with our men's team here in Malaysia. Respectful, the hardest-working group of guys I've ever had the privilege of working around. If you've spent 24 hours with this group, their stellar performances would come as no surprise.

Congrats to all of the men who've competed so far and good luck to Jared and Ian up next tomorrow.

This cohort of lifters makes me proud to wear USA on my back.

1 kg snatch PR (10 kg competition PR)
6 kg CJ PR
7 kg total PR
...
Even 140/180 were huge lifetime (gym or competition) PRs a few weeks ago when he did them in training at the OTC.

Mike dropped from a 94 to 85 and his lifts keep going up.

Keep your eye on this guy. He's gonna be big(ger).

I am against the USA, a fictional entity built on aggression forcing all within arbitrary borders to obey all kinds of tyranny. There is nothing united about a landmass held together by guns, invasions, and taxes. On this day of "American independence" I call for true independence, the abolishment of the pretense at unity that does not exist and the recognition of local and most importantly individual autonomy.

Call it what you want, but Mike did awesome(ly?).

Yes, I agree with that, and good for him. I always love to celebrate the accomplishment of the individual, just not the "nation-state" collective. ;)
